Sinclair’s Parcell named Ohio Professor of the Year
John Parcell, an associate professor of music at Sinclair Community College, has been named the 2009 Ohio Professor of the Year by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education and Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
Parcell will receive his award today, Thursday, Nov. 19, at a ceremony at the Willard InterContinental Washington in Washington D.C.
“Dr. Parcell is a gifted and award-winning musician and composer, but in the eyes of his students and colleagues, he is first and foremost an exemplary teacher,” said Kathleen Cleary, dean of Sinclair’s liberal arts, communications and social sciences division.
Parcell “creates a welcoming, yet challenging environment that is marked by a spirit of innovation, risk-taking and a palpable desire for excellence,” Cleary said.
Parcell’s awards also include a Certificate of Merit from the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival, and the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development’s Excellence Award.
Administered by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education and sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation, the Professor of the Year awards recognize professors for their influence on teaching and their commitment to undergraduate students.
The awards are given to four national winners. State-level Professors of the Year are being recognized in 36 states, the District of Columbia and Guam.
